The Man Behind The Curtain Lyrics - X - Spocks Beard

I'm the man behind the curtain 

The one who pulls the strings 

Got my finger on the button 

But my mind's on other things 

I'm the most impressive person 

No one's ever really seen, oh 

In the shadow of the spotlight 

Always waiting in the wings 

I'm ready for my close up 

When the fat lady sings 

I don't know if you can hear me 

But you'd better hear me out 

I manipulate the matrix 

I know how it all turns out 

I'm The Man Behind The Curtain, oh 

Pay no attention to 

The Man Behind The Curtain, oh 

And I know how it all turns out 

My little white lies 

Are all getting colored in 

My impromptu alibis 

Well, they're wearing mighty thin 

Though you don't walk away with anything 

You didn't carry in 

I deliver dispensation 

For most any random sin 

I'm The Man Behind The Curtain, oh 

Pay no attention to 

The Man Behind The Curtain, oh 

And I know how it all turns out 

And when the curtain gets pulled away 

Guess there's always a piper to pay 

You caught me out 

In my base deception 

I was only trying to make 

The wrong impression 

On the punters, punks and drunkards 

That fortune floats my way 

And the curtain gets pulled away 

I'm The Man Behind The Curtain, oh 

Pay no attention to 

The Man Behind The Curtain, oh 

I know how it all turns out 

I'm The Man Behind The Curtain, oh 

Pay no attention to 

The Man Behind The Curtain, oh 

I know how it all turns out 

The man, the man, the man, the man, the man 

I know how it all turns out 

And when the curtain finally comes down 

The puppets all slump to the ground 

The doves lie silent in their covered cages 

And though the mezzanines are still echoing 

With the rock of ages 

The circus has moved on to another town 

And the curtain finally comes down...
